The rest is pretty fineHer gossip, holy dung,
Her scoring points, ho hung,
That get on my mind clung,
The rest is pretty fine.
Fine her stare of sharp eye,
Fine, full cheeks, dimpled nigh,
But for her battle cry,
The rest is pretty fine.
Let her...

Our journey of life, should ye recallOne distant eve we met, should ye recall,
Our life took off that date, should ye recall.
Despite doubts that dared, misgivings that scared,
We still traveled jet set, should ye recall.
Dark was the night and clouds that...

Plain AffectedThe forest around her story damning the plains—
A small little girl seen by the wind through the plains.
Green honey passes just by a bee's swirling wings;
The gold smoothed by her heart; fingers reading the plains.

Who to hail for helpWhen doubts rage, who to hail for help,
Lug own luggage, hail not for help.
Man has lost sage who might well help,
Saved savage, hail not now for help.
Self centred, man has if lost out

Hey Diddle DiddleHey, diddle, diddle, the cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon--had no fiddle,
The little dog laughed, got smashed as a Poodle,
the cow laughed a little, and found the fiddle,
The cat played to Nero,...

How niceShould doldrums turn to breeze, how nice,
Desire, to ‘was’ from ‘is’, how nice.
What ere was flash has flared to fire,
If doubts fade soon to cease, how nice.
If every crease of mind clears up,
Peaceful waves to...

Poor man, marriedHe thinks post nor prior, poor man’s married,

Late from office and empty-handed still,

To kindle love latent withinYou have no time, time’s not with us,
Back still, let love be brought with us.
Let no time rob our love in life,
Nor spill over love’s pot with us.
Forgotten we have naught with...

The wound was there well beforeThe wound waited there well before,
And weapons too were, well before.
News of my death made no diff’rence,
All were nigh aware well before.
What happened sure was to happen,
No use to beware well before.
Disease was diagnosed later,
It...

UnadoredI tremble before you, my vying emotion
I thought I could be loved with complying emotion
My mirror used to love my sight
there is no more of that undying emotion
Neglect tore at me, scattering me into shards
This...

Mirror in heartIf there’s in heart a small mirror,
What need there’s for a wall mirror?
Heart would reveal your veiled intent,
Let no dust befall on mirror.
One that conceals human conceit,
We never can call a mirror.
But...

Rhyme as if asks refrainWhere’s right terrain, rain as if asks,
Where to go, a train as if asks.
Utterly baffled of its task,
What if I bless, bane as if asks.
What should I do in state of Zen?

Just like thatLet’s live somewhat light just like that,
Light of needless weight just like that.
The train when comes to take, let’s go,
Board light and alight just like that.
If face potholes in life, to leap
And go ahead...
